I don�t need to catch you lying
To know that you�re bad
I don�t need to be crying
I know now that I�ve been had
The word is on the street
That you�re a liar and cheat

You always go too far
And all you say is, that�s just how you are
That�s how you are

Why is it what I give you is not enough
Has life for you been all that rough
I don�t think so.
Too bad you are the way you are

You tell me you don�t need a thing
That�s what you�ve said
 oh, how your words sting
And how I�ve always bled
You�re never discreet
It�s like you�re bathed in deceit

And I don�t need another scar
And all you say is, that�s just how you are
That�s how you are
    
      Why is it what I give you is not enough
Has life for you been all that rough
I don�t think so.
Too bad you are the way you are.

I�ve let this go on for far too long
It�s time for it to end
Too many times I�ve been wronged
I can no longer bend
And if later by chance we meet
Please turn around and retreat

  Coz hey, I won�t give a damn
  And all I can say is, that�s just how I am
  That�s how I am

  Why is it what I gave you was not enough
  Has life for you been all that rough
  I don�t think so.
  Too bad you are the way you are.

The intro sounds very retro, nice! :)

Good work on the composition, words and performances. The mix needs more work.

Fine, thanks. :) I took a break from MCS and focused on some other projects. I've also mixed a lot of tunes that I found on the Internet, just for fun and without any obligations.

BTW, I joined MixCoach, a website dedicated to mixing one professionally recorded song per month. If you like, you can submit your mixes and get feedback from the guys who run the site (Kevin Ward, Jon Wright) or just post them in the forum and discuss them with other members. I joined primarily because I wanted to get my hands on some good recordings, but the feedback is useful too as in "normal" Internet forums (like MCS) you seldom get honest/helpful criticism.

It's a pay-site, but the monthly fee is moderate. I think it is $27 now.

Regards,
  Steffen

Hi Steffen, I have been working a bit in the last little wile, not steady but some, I am doing some music but for now I can't join that site they're not that many in a month the works I do, sometimes  I don't get nothing done  for a long time. I usually don't like paying for anything over the internet,  giving my credit info on line I mean. Sounds interesting tough....Thanks for sharing.
We should work on some together soon.
Later
Mimmo

Lovely song! This could be a Roy Orbison song. Very good Mimmo! Do you know the Mavericks? If not so look here: http://vimeo.com/51787214

Your voice and your music has a lot of that flavour!

Great song, great performance Mimmo!

Hey...Thanks soulfrontier, I'm sorry I never saw this before .
I have heard of the Mavericks., it does lean to the Roy Orbison's sound, doesn't it?
Thanks again
Mimmo

Nice song, has a very retro vibe...sounds like something from the 50's . The mix isn't overly clear but it blends together quite well which makes it sound like an older recording. I think it suits the material.
